Rafael ‘Feijao’ Cavalcante Suspended for Failed Drug Test

Strikeforce light heavyweight title contender Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante has reportedly tested positive for a banned substance following his victory over Mike Kyle at Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier last month in San Jose, Calif.

The failed drug was first reported by boxing reporter Gabriel Montoya on Twitter. MMAFighting.com later confirmed it with California State Athletic Commission executive officer George Dodd, who did not identify the banned substance.

Cavalcante has been suspended for one year dating from the time of the fight and fined $2,500.

His manager, Ed Soares, who also did not disclose any details of the test, stands behind his fighter.

Eureka…I’ve got it! One failed test and you are forever in the Roid division. No more fights with fighters who haven’t tested positive. All steroids all time from then on. At this rate is shouldn’t take long to have a pretty sizable division.
